“This guy’s a guitar-slinging poet,” Nashville Music City News. There is something that distinguishes Grant from the vast, strumming herd of singer/songwriters. His songs and his performances are strictly bereft of cliché and sentimentality. There is never an “ooh baby” in a Grant Peeples song. There are no white picket fences. His songs bite and twist, turn on a phrase, dig beneath the surface of appearances. He violates the “ No Trespassing” signs, peeks over the backyard fences of the culture. Then he picks up his guitar and lets you know what he’s seen–unapologetically–like a poet would anchor the Six O’clock News. And you know right away….he’s not making this stuff up.
